WaPo reported The Palestinian prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh, warned Monday on the eve of a key international donors meeting that the Palestinian Authority, cut off from most foreign aid since his Hamas movement took office five weeks ago, could founder unless new money arrives. "If the siege continues, the whole authority will be facing collapse,"

That is the general idea.

Haniyeh said in an interview in his office here. "And if there is a collapse, there will be chaos in the region."

There is chaos in the region right now. And Hamas is responsible for most of it.
